ON A MISSION

We are the brand synonymous with bananas. Yeah, you may have guessed it. But why "Barnana®"? Great question! That's because we believe that the banana is mother nature's original energy bar. We've made 'em even more convenient and flavorful.

We are on a mission to end food waste on organic banana farms by upcycling the bananas that used to go to waste. When "imperfect" bananas have scuffs, are a little too ripe, or aren’t the perfect size - they are typically rejected for export. We take these delicious bananas and turn them into snacks. Pretty cool, huh?

Whether you're about to go for a run, got done lifting weights or you just need a healthy snack for your daily adventure - we got you. Cramping sucks, but you know what doesn't? Eating some tasty Barnana®

HEADQUARTERS

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA

"IT ALL STARTED IN 1981 WHEN MY FATHER JOÃO BEGAN DEHYDRATING BANANAS FROM OUR BACKYARD IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL." - CAUÊ

On a hot summer day in 1981, architect Joao Suplicy took home a large broken skylight from a construction project in the hills of Curitiba, Brasil. Suplicy woke the next morning and discovered that all the grass beneath the skylight had died. This simple, unintentional experiment sparked an idea that started as a personal hobby and continued on as a family tradition.

From this simple revelation, Joao constructed a natural dehydrator and tested it with fresh, peeled bananas. After just five days he had raw, organic, dehydrated bananas that tasted sweet and lasted for months. To their delight, Joao shared the organic bananas with his family and friends, but perhaps the biggest fan of all was his eldest son, Caue. In 2001, Caue relocated to Southern California to commence his career as a professional triathlete. The Suplicy family tradition of creating organic chewy bananas carried on, as he shared the banana superfood with his friends and fellow athletes across the country.

In 2010, Caue, Nik, and Matt decided to share the Super Potassium Snack® with the world and embark on a journey that would soon become Barnana®.
